Abstract In recent years, wireless sensor networks offer costeffective solutions to various surveillance and tracking
applications with the developments in sensor techniques. In
many of these applications, sensor nodes that are equipped
with directional sensors and they operate autonomously in
unattended environments. The deployment strategy of
directional sensor nodes is critical to improve target detection
and tracking accuracy. In this paper, deployment of passive
infrared motion (PIR) sensors is analyzed in terms of coverage
issue. A PIR Sensor Deployment (PSD) problem is addressed
using deployment schemes that are based on computational
geometry. Finally, the performance of deployment schemes is
evaluated in a Java based simulation environment.

A. Deployment Scenarios
In theoretical analysis, the surveillance area is divided
into geometric shapes in order to deal with the PSD problem.
Each deployment scenario is explained by providing the
properties of corresponding geometric shape, the sensor node
deployment strategy in a geometric area and the process of
finding the number of sensor nodes per unit surveillance
area.
The number of sensor nodes per unit surveillance area is
calculated by using following parameters: Surveillance Area
(SA), Geometric Shape Area (GSA) in which sensor nodes
are located, Numbers of Geometric Shape (NGS) in SA and
Total Number of Sensor nodes (TNS) in SA.
SA is calculated in terms of l and w which are taken as
the coefficients of r. Coefficients are denoted as n and k.
FoV of sensor nodes can overlap with each other. NGS is
calculated by dividing SA into GSA. According to the
deployment strategy, we multiply the Number of Sensor
nodes Per Unit geometric shape (NSPU) with NGS to find
the TNS. Finally, Density of Sensor nodes (DS) is computed.
We used the value of DS to evaluate the deployment
scenarios.

B. Square Deployment
In this deployment scenario, the surveillance area is
divided into square areas. The edge length of each square is
equal to r meters. As illustrated in Fig. 2, two sensor nodes
are located at any two diagonal corners of a square facing
each other. Since the PIR sensors have 110 AoV, locating
two sensor nodes in diagonal corners can fully cover the
square area. DS that is required to provide full coverage is
calculated by following below steps;
GSA = r r = r 2
DS = 2 r 2
C. Triangular Deployment
In this deployment scenario, our aim is to locate sensor
nodes in triangular mode. Equilateral triangles and 110
isosceles triangles are two different strategies for triangular
deployment.
1) Equilateral Triangular Deployment
As we use the triangular method, each vertex of an
equilateral triangle is r meters. Only one sensor is located to
cover the triangular area. Working direction and an example
deployment scenario for an equilateral triangle are given in
Fig. 3(a) and Fig. 3(b). DS that is required to provide full
coverage is calculated by following below steps;

D. Hexagonal Deployment
In this deployment scenario, the deployment of sensor
nodes is based on hexagons. A sensor node is located on
each corner of a hexagon. Hence, there are six sensor nodes
in each hexagon. Sensor nodes which are located on opposite
corners are facing each other. Every vertex of the hexagonal
is r meters. Working direction and total hexagonal coverage
